No, the applications integrated into the OS and designed to work specifically with the OS flies (no dispute from me there). However, *SeaMonkey* (which is the object of this thread) should perform equally well, if not better on Ubuntu. I can't test as I've only Win2KPro (running on a virtual machine) and higher & I've have to clean out the garage to find a win98 cd (or floppies). _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
